Quick boot up and login, but slow desktop render?

mbmccormick
I have no problem with my boot time in terms of getting to a login screen. It's right in line with Microsoft's benchmarks for Windows XP Professional SP3. But after I login, I get my desktop background but now taskbar, icons, etc. This can take sometimes upwards of 3 minutes after I've logged in. Microsoft's Bootvis did not help at all. This is a completely new Dell Vostro, and the problem started after I installed Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

Any help is appreciated!

I've also encountered that before, all i did is i remove those applications that doesn't necessarily to be activated on start-up...

@ System Configuration Utility.

Hope that helps,

As Sukatoa posted, you simply need to remove AutoStart entries which are not required to be executed at startup. Although you can use System Configuration Utility [msconfig.exe] for this purpose but msconfig doesnot necessarily shows all the autoruns. So I prefer to use SYSINTERNAL's (now occupied by Microsoft) "autoruns" utility.

You can download "autoruns" from LINK below----------->

If the problem persists, reply back.

HOPE THIS HELPS...............
